Step into the sandals of competing merchants in the Roman port of Ostia circa 103 AD. Build a mighty fleet to sail trade routes and build lucrative outposts. Fulfill orders from the Emperor and earn honors from the assembly. Collect exotic animals and artifacts for the people at home, and grow your influence to become the most successful trader in the age of Trajan!

Gameplay Overview
Ostia: Mariner Edition is the definitive version of Crafty Games' Roman trade strategy game, set in the bustling port city of Ostia at the height of the Empire. At its heart is a distinctive Mancala-driven action selection mechanic: rather than choosing actions freely, players distribute resources along their player board in a flowing, cascading system that makes every decision feel consequential and tactically satisfying. You'll build fleets of Corbita and Ponto ships to navigate historical Mediterranean trade routes, establish outposts, collect exotic animals and artifacts, and fulfill orders from Emperor Trajan to earn Assembly honors. The Mariner Edition is a "thoughtful upgrade" from the original, bundling the first two expansions and deluxe components into the base box — including personal honor cards, support tiles, a lighthouse, and a full solo mode with its own board and achievement system. A richly themed, mechanically distinctive heavy euro for players who love historical strategy with an unusual twist.
